By this one would be able to have pricing information spread out across different pages, but only need to update a single page/database to change the information on those dozens or even hundreds of pages. Think excel cell referencing in wiki form. –micahg, 19-Mar-2007 A: You can use the section parameter with the TranscludePlugin to provide just a single section of content anywhere on the wiki. You could then edit the text in one place and it could be transcluded any number of times on any other page. You could have one single page be the source of your transclusions or grab text from anywhere and everywhere.
